We have started working on multiplication of large numbers in math, we are getting ready for our Gala Oratoire on Wednesday, have written some beautiful Calligrammes and are continuing to read "Les bas du pensionnat" in French. In English we are reading "A Wrinkle in time" and are continuing with Planet Protector Academy.
We have also been very busy with DanceKreations last week. I, unfortunately, missed the final performance as I was sick, but I hope you all got to see it and loved it. From the rehearsals I already knew that it would be a great performance.
We also took some time to write some notes of Thank you for our amazing volunteers, and decorate some table covers for the Volunteer tea.
We continue to explore topics in Science (light, plants, etc.) while we also will start working on our Kids in the know topics as well as our topics on Human Sexuality.
Finally, the Chess Tournament will start as of Monday (the 10th) until the 20th. Last week we started an elimination round but I have redesigned our Grade 4 tournament to allow everyone at least 2 chances at a game. We have too many students for a true round-robin, so I will have more details for the students on how things will run on Monday. We will try to have a fair competition and give everyone the opportunity to shine. :)

Here is an awesome program run by the Calgary library to keep up with reading during the summer.
It is worth checking out. Did I mention awesome prizes? 😉
They have loads of French books too to keep up with French reading. :)
Here's a quick video to outline what the program is all about!
